South Coast BJJ in south Adelaide

Howdy guys. I posted this on another forum and thought I'd post it here as it had a lot of 'likes' on the other site........

I figured a lot of people would still be looking at this forum as of this date (26/3/2012) so I thought I would post my own 2 cents. I have trained at all Adelaide BJJ clubs bar one however have had training partners that have trained at all BJJ gyms.

Without bagging out any clubs, I personally found that while many are great, all had major drawbacks especially for students from the south of Adelaide. I actually ended up contacting Darren Cartwright who has/runs a gym out north. Long story short, I was making the 1.5hr drive each way to train there because of his knowledge and ZERO EGO of his students......Everyone claims that their clubs don't have ego but I havent seen it until now........

Well good news for southern bjj guys in Adelaide....There is now a BJJ gym in Seaford (opened late last year/early this year when I started training there). Darren Cartwright heads it up under his Terrafirma branding under the Will Machado network. It is a big industrial warehouse with a ton of matting and also weight equipment etc.

Darren's phone number is 0410816228. Training is most days but ring Darren cos I dont know the exact address or timetable off the top of my head.

New BJJ Gym in Seaford, Adelaide

Hi Guys,

I have just opened up a brand new BJJ club in Adelaide down south at Seaford. As a long time student of John Will, and accredited instructor under John and the Will-Machado BJJ system, I thought I would open a gym to cater to those not willing to drive into the city and who would rather train less than 1km from the beach!

We have a ton of brand new 40mm mats (not usual 20mm variety) and have an excellent student base. I strive to cater the gym mostly to white through purple belt students and provide a fun, friendly and informative culture. What you will not find at this gym is hyper-competitive, ego driven, injury riddled training environments because my two prioirites are that 1: everyone has fun and 2: everyone progresses as fast as possible towards their next belt ranking.

If you would like to try BJJ or are coming from another club, please give me a buzz on m0404 263 700 and I will arrange a time to meet with you before class and introduce you to the students. Of course, your first lesson is free and we would love you to join our training family.
